Chapter 110 I am narrow-minded and will not forgive
Xia Xiaorou walked to the guest room and didn't see Yan Heng. She only saw that the door of her and Yan Heng's client's room was open and there was some noise in the room.
She tiptoed over to see what was going on, and then she heard a small sound behind her.
Xia Xiaorou turned around suddenly and saw Shanliang approaching stealthily.
The two of them made a sound of silence almost at the same time.
"What are you doing here?" Xia Xiaorou asked in a low voice.
"Madam Xia, what are you doing?" Shan kindly raised an eyebrow, "Why are you following my husband?"
Xia Xiaorou waved her hand, "I'm following someone else, not Mr. Yan. Who are you following?"
"I was following you, and I saw someone entering your guest room. I was just about to go in and catch him. That person must be a thief." Shanliang rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to beat someone up.
Xia Xiaorou waved her hand, "Go and invite the county magistrate here. Be careful and invite him quietly."
Shanliang narrowed his eyes, "Madam Xia, do you want to make things worse?"
"Of course, the county magistrate's mansion dares to enter Mr. Yan's guest room. It is clear that they don't take Mr. Yan seriously." Xia Xiaorou sneered.
Shanliang snorted, "They are quite courageous! I will go find the county magistrate!"
Shanliang turned and left, and not long after, he came with the county magistrate.
The county magistrate looked panicked, "What happened? Madam Xia?"
Xia Xiaorou pointed at her and Yan Heng's clients and said, "There's a noise over there. I don't dare go in. Could you trouble the county magistrate to take me in?"
The county magistrate opened his eyes wide, "Noise? What sound?"
"Everything will be clear once you go in, sir. Please come in." Shanliang supported the county magistrate and went into the guest room of Xia Xiaorou and Yan Heng.
As soon as the two of them walked into the room, they hurriedly retreated.
Xia Xiaorou curled her lips slightly and asked them, "Why are you so scared? What happened?"
Shanliang looked at Xia Xiaorou strangely, "Madam Xia, your stepsister... is in the guest room. And..." He glanced at the county magistrate and didn't say anything else.
"Master, what happened to you, Master? Master?" The county magistrate's wife also came over quickly.
Behind her, was Madam Luo.
Xia Xiaorou curled her lips slightly. It seemed that today's excitement was the work of several parties.
The target is Yan Heng.
But where is Yan Heng?
Xia Xiaorou turned around and looked around, but in the darkness, she couldn't see where Yan Heng was.
"Who is Xiaorou looking for?" Yan Heng's voice suddenly said behind Xia Xiaorou.
Xia Xiaorou turned around and found Yan Heng still wearing the robe that was spilled with wine. She couldn't help but curl her lips. He was really cunning. He must have discovered the problem but didn't enter the house, right?
If you don't enter the house, you won't be counted.
"Don't worry, Young Master Yan. I will make sure everything is arranged." The county magistrate waved his hand to signal the servants to carry away the unconscious Lan Ruxin and the disheveled Xia Chunfang. He then bowed to Yan Heng and invited Yan Heng to go into the house to change clothes.
"Wait!" Yan Heng looked at the two women who broke into his guest room with a cold gaze, pointed at the county magistrate and said, "Check it out right here. I don't want to think about these annoying things while I'm drinking."
The county magistrate's forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly bowed and responded, "Yes, yes, Yan... Mr. Yan."
There was no other way, the county magistrate had to put aside the banquet and ordered people to investigate the cause.
After calling all the people in the back house, the county magistrate checked them one by one.
It was finally discovered that it was Lan Ruxin who first pushed open Yan Heng's guest room door and stayed in the room for a long time without coming out. Then Xia Chunfang entered the room.
In addition, two pieces of jewelry were found in Lan Ruxin's hands, and those two pieces of jewelry were Xia Xiaorou's pair of jade earrings.
The unconscious Lan Ruxin was awakened by the water. She knelt on the ground and looked at everyone in confusion.
Xia Chunfang's clothes were neatly arranged by the maids.
But she was hot all over and just wanted to pounce on a man.
When he saw Yan Heng and Shanliang, his eyes were filled with anger.
Yan Heng's eyes were grim. "Kind?"
Shanliang felt a chill when Xia Chunfang stared at him, and he flicked a stone away with his hand, and Xia Chunfang fell to the ground.
But her face was flushed and her forehead was covered with sweat.
Her heart was pounding. What happened to her?
"It turns out that these two men are thieves. County magistrate, the case has been investigated and please make a judgment." Yan Heng flicked his sleeves lightly and said in a cold voice.
"My lord, I know nothing, my lord..." Lan Ruxin became frightened when she heard the verdict that she had stolen money and other valuables from Yan Heng's room.
Now that the trial is in public, the county magistrate may not be able to save her.
The county magistrate glanced at Lan Ruxin, who looked aggrieved, and wanted to protect her, but these were Yan Heng's property. Who was Yan Heng?
He couldn't afford to offend.
"Someone is coming..."
"Master, such people should not be given a light sentence, they must be severely punished." The county magistrate's wife looked at Lan Ruxin coldly and said.
"Madam, she is from your backyard, and she actually ran to Mr. Yan's room to steal things. Madam, you should really punish her severely." Xia Xiaorou looked at the county magistrate's wife, "We country people have never been easy on thieves. I wonder how your family dealt with it? Oh, Madam, you don't usually take care of the backyard, right? You actually let a theft happen in the backyard. If you don't punish her in public, I'm afraid others will follow suit, and your reputation will be thrown out of the city in the future."
The implication was that she didn't want to let Lan Ruxin go.
Lan Ruxin looked up at Xia Xiaorou, with a frosty look in her eyes.
The county magistrate's wife's face turned pale and red. She said awkwardly, "Of course...of course it can't be lighter than the punishment in the village."
"That's good." Xia Xiaorou nodded.
"Madam, please spare my life, madam, master..." Lan Ruxin cried and begged for mercy.
But with Yan Heng here today, how could the county magistrate dare to spare her?
The county magistrate's wife was also afraid that Xia Xiaorou would laugh at her for having a thief in her family, so she would not let Lan Ruxin go.
Both of them instructed the steward to beat Lan Ruxin ten times with a stick in public, and then had someone tie her up and sell her the next morning.
As for Xia Chunfang, she also begged Xia Xiaorou for mercy.
Xia Xiaorou shook her head, "I'm narrow-minded, don't beg me."
Xia Chunfang was panicked and went to ask Madam Luo for help again.
Mrs. Luo only wanted to use her, so why would she care about her life or death? She immediately shouted angrily, "You begged me to take you to the county town to see the world, but who knew you would learn to steal? I can't save you!"
"Come here, give him ten sticks and take him away!" the county magistrate shouted.
Xia Chunfang was even more panicked now. She shouted at the top of her voice, "Xia Xiaorou, it was Madam Luo who taught me. She told me that if I let Mr. Yan like me, he would dislike me. I didn't mean to hurt you. She taught me that."
Yan Heng looked at Madam Luo with cold eyes, "Madam Luo?"
Xia Xiaorou also glanced at Madam Luo.
Madam Luo is not afraid of Xia Xiaorou, but she is afraid of Yan Heng.
"No, no, no, Mr. Yan, don't listen to her nonsense. She is a village woman, how could she be loved by Mr. Yan? She is not even half as good as Madam Xia. It was her mother who had improper thoughts and instigated her to get close to Mr. Yan. I wanted to bring her here to see the world, but who knew she would have this idea? I also warned her not to mess around, but she didn't listen..."
